Condition Report
Both cups display general wear, tarnishing and general surface marks and scratches, heavy tarnishing to the interiors. Some deeper scratches to some areas and various minor nicks and remnants of polish. One of the cups has several notable surface dints, one of the handles is a little squashed at the top, there are impressions from both handles to the interior and there is a knock to the main rim making it slightly misshapen. There is also loss of detail to the engraved letters. The other cup does not display as many surface dints, however the bottom of the stem is pushed down into the base and there is a knock to the foot rim. Hallmarks to both are legible.
